Bringing the music of The Levellers to the VIP Big Top, we’re excited to announce the return of The Spirit Levellers on Sunday 19th August.

Formed in 2005 by frontman and guitarist Mal Kitchen, the Spirit Levellers have added a few more members over the years and continue to bring the songs and energy of The Levellers to delighted audiences across the UK.

A thoroughly authentic tribute, The Spirit Levellers will have you dancing and singing along with songs such as ‘What A Beautiful Day’, ‘One Way’, and ‘Just The One’.

It’s their very first appearance at Tribfest, and we’re excited to welcome Straighten Out, a tribute to The Stranglers, to the VIP Big Top.

STRAIGHTEN OUT are the premier Stranglers tribute band out there…with an extensive set-list that spans two solid hours as they re-create the ‘early years’ sound of The Stranglers, complete with a keyboard rig that is the same model as the original used by Mr. Greenfield himself in the 1970’s…!

The growling bass sound and the quirky guitar riffs are all there to be heard as is the dual vocal ‘attack’ from the two frontmen a la Burnel-Cornwell as they rip through all the classics: ‘Peaches’, ‘Hanging Around’, ‘No More Heroes’, ‘5 Minutes’, ‘The Raven’, ‘Walk On By’, ‘Straighten Out’, ‘Down In The Sewer’ and many more as they cover virtually the whole of the first three Stranglers’ albums and beyond…Straighten Out – live and unleashed – will take you on a nostalgia trip that transports you back to those raw, powerful, exhilarating times when The Stranglers emerged through the quagmire of mediocrity to produce some of the finest tunes ever written…Straighten Out will put you back in that place…!

Guaranteeing a party like no other, the Mondaze promise to transport you back to Manchester’s musical heyday and the birth of rave culture. Sing along with Shaun (Marc), Rowetta (Jocelyn), Bez (Peter) and the band to smash hits such as Step On, Kinky Afro, Wrote For Luck and many many more as the Mondaze vow to amaze, entertain and leave you crying out for an encore!

Billed as ‘spooky’ by Bez, the Mondaze deliver a show that revives and recreates the punk fuelled energy of the late 80s and early 90s rave scene.
